What the data says
The Department for Education has not published where High Peak School’s Year 11 leavers went next, so this page relies on the school’s results and subjects.
Languages are a small part of the curriculum here: entries in German add up to 6% of the year group, and 6% of pupils entered the full EBacc set of subjects (England 41%).
High Peak School is a special school: its GCSE figures (Attainment 8 of 11.3, 0% with grade 5 or above in English and maths) are published by DfE for completeness and are not comparable with mainstream schools.
Where pupils went after Year 11
Destinations of the 2023 Year 11 leavers, measured the following year: the share in a sustained place for at least two terms. Compared with all state-funded schools in Cheshire East and England.
The Department for Education has not published destination figures for this school (new school, small cohort or not a state-funded school).
